What this shows Starting's Innovation Score is 44.3/100 (top 26% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Starting?

Each dot is one of Starting’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Starting’s own 6.4 claims/patent is at or below the 13.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Starting's grants concentrate

Starting Industrial Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under F02N (Starting OF Combustion ENGINES; Starting Aids FOR Such Engines, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Starting sits between Speedrack Co., Ltd. and Supfina Grieshaber GMBH & Co. KG.

Starting's three-year grant acceleration

Starting Industrial Co., Ltd. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
